U.S., South Korea to Start Military Drills on March 2

The U.S. and South Korean militaries said Tuesday they will begin their annual joint winter drills in South Korea on March 2, a regular source of tension with North Korea.

The exercises are some of the largest on the calendar, involving hundreds of thousands of American and South Korean troops. The drills involve computer simulations as well as field exercises, which wrap up on April 24.
